The Annual Lakehead University Alumni Award is a purchase prize. This work is now in their permanent collection.
Station Wagon is a depiction of my mother and other family members as we depart Winnipeg
for our return trip home to Port Arthur (now Thunder Bay). It was sometime in the late 1950s or early 1960s.
During this camping vacation we spent most of the time at Grand Beach.
My dad's suit jacket in the dry cleaning bag pressed up against the window was for a special occasion since forgotten.
Father never took his dry cleaning on subsequent camping vacations.
Thank you Rob at Magic 99.9 for enjoying this! It does bring back great memories!

Station Wagon is part of the Arrivals and Departures series of drawings.
